Can Java downloads be infected with a virus?SYMPTOMSAccording to my anti-virus client software a malicious virus appears to have been downloaded with my Java download from java.com. CAUSE If you have an older version of a signature file in place for your anti-virus client software or your specific anti-virus client software vendor may have failed to include into their latest signature file that the current version of Java is not a virus, it may therefore result in a false-positive state, where you are led to believe that you may have downloaded a virus with your latest version of Java software. SOLUTION We recommended that you update your anti-virus signature file or contact your anti-virus client software and advise them of the false-positive statement from your anti-virus client software. |
